Driving on a Suspended License

Driving on a Suspended License in Phoenix

Driving on a suspended license in the Phoenix, Arizona for a DUI, or for any reason, is an illegal offense that has the potential for severe, lasting consequences. While some people knowingly choose to drive with a revoked or suspended license, many individuals charged with this crime are surprised when told their license is suspended, and they are driving illegally.

One of the main reasons people are unaware of their driver’s license statuses has to do with the reinstatement process. Do not let prosecutors take advantage of your lack of knowledge; contact Stewart Law Group immediately to ensure you are not convicted of driving with a suspended license. In many cases, you might not have been aware you were committing a crime. Regardless of circumstances, Phoenix suspended license defense lawyer Scott David Stewart is ready and able to fight for your rights.

After your license is suspended or revoked, you face a period of time where you do not have driving privileges. After the designated time has passed, you are able to reinstate your license and regain your right to drive. What many individuals do not realize is that beyond the designated time-frame, you have to pay a license reinstatement fee to finalize the reinstatement process and gain legal grounds for driving your vehicle. Since many people fail to realize the reinstatement fee, when they are pulled over for a simple traffic violation, they are slammed with an additional charge of driving on a suspended license.

Possible Penalties

A conviction of driving on a suspended license can be serious and have unfortunate penalties. The Class 1 misdemeanor has a minimum of 48 hours jail time and a $300-$500 fine.
